Chris Read dropped two and missed a stumping last night apparantly, and made nought.

so he pulled off a geraint!!

 

[King_Ponting]

which goes down to about 16 odd when you remove games against zimbabwe.

And the sad thing is . is that hes still englands first choice keeper

 

[Jono]

good chance to pick up some negative points.....

Well I figured that keepers that take catches with their chest should get double points.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

so he pulled off a geraint!!

Did he indeed, no wonder Jones looked a little flushed today.

 

[Gloucefan]

Undoubtedly been said but I'd like to see Freddie and Pieterson bat together today.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Always room for J Arthur gags on CW!

 

[Scaly piscine]

It's amazing any team can reach 3 digits let alone 391 the way Gooch is going on about the white cricket ball.

 

[aussie]

also wanted to say that Jones is the worst keeper in international cricket. absolutley shocking glovework today...

from what i have heard form family it wasn't that bad, they say it was one of his better days

sad thing is that the selectors got rid of someone who was doing quite a decent job in ODIs with bat and gloves for someone who cant do either.
even worse, they still havent realised it.

He really didn't do much wrong barring one, maybe two missed takes, and the missed Symonds run-out - no dropped catches and no byes.

 

[superkingdave]

Lee's first ball swings...

he came pretty close to dropping 2 off the catches though. caught one with his chest and another on second attempt.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Lovely first over from Lee. Good signs.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Good start from the Aussies.

We doing first-chance catch averages now?

 

[aussie]

yep very positive start from Lee, one wouldn't believe that he has been out of cricket for a while. Now for Pigeon to get the ball rolling

 

[andyc]

We doing first-chance catch averages now?

okay, wtf are first chance averages? they keep coming up

 

[aussie]

so far both Lee & McGrath are getting some swing into both left handers

 

[Neil Pickup]

One of Richard's theories, whereby if a batsman gives a chance on 8, and goes on to make 254, he only deserves 8.

But let's not go there.

McGrath bowling a little leg-side here.

 

[aussie]

they're getting into the pads too much now, they are 2 slips & a gully lads pitch it outside off
